02 - Executive summary
Four sentences - challenge, role, delivery, result.
Bay County had to replace an outdated solid-waste planning model with a Materials Management Plan aligned to Michigan PA 451, Part 115.
KCompute served as an AI and technology subcontractor supporting GIS data, workflows, requirements traceability, and public-facing deliverable structure.
We structured the delivery around data collection, benchmark review, stakeholder engagement, GIS mapping, draft deliverables, and final adoption support.
The plan format ties scope, work products, compliance evidence, and performance indicators directly to SOW Section 13 expectations.
03 - The context
A 2015 solid-waste plan no longer fit Michigan's new materials-management law.
Background
Bay County needed support to move from a disposal-oriented solid waste plan toward a broader materials management program covering reduce, reuse, recycling, organics, recovery, public input, and performance tracking.
Specific problems
- The existing plan did not reflect the requirements and intent of the newer materials management statute.
- Municipal engagement required structured input, issue tracking, and clear public-facing communication.
- Historical data, facility information, and geographic service areas had to be organized for analysis.
- Recommendations needed to be traceable back to requirements, deliverables, and adoption steps.
04 - Our solution
A discovery-led, GIS-driven delivery across Tasks 1-7.
Our approach
We led with a discovery sprint to organize EGLE Section 13 requirements, map content needs, define data tracks, and sequence the plan around work products the county could review and approve.
Our role
As KCompute's subcontracted technology team, we structured data requirements, GIS support, traceability, document workflows, and delivery coordination around the MMP schedule.

06 - Results and outcomes
Numbers tied directly to SOW Section 13 performance standards.
100% SOW Section 13 and EGLE technical requirements were mapped into the Materials Management Plan delivery framework.
Each plan section connects back to the statutory and SOW requirement it satisfies.
Facility, service area, and materials-flow data can be represented geographically.
Stakeholder feedback and response actions can be tracked through plan revisions.
Deliverables are organized for review, approval, and submission support.
